About this listen
The first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous was published in April 1939. It rapidly became known as the “Big Book” and launched the AA Program that has helped millions of people around the world get and stay sober. As the basic text of AA, its chapters show other alcoholics precisely how 100 men and women recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. It lays out a proven program of action to stop drinking, including the original Twelve Steps, devised by AA’s co-founders Bill W. and Dr. Bob. Both their stories, as well as the stories of 29 others, are told as convincing testimonials of hopeless alcoholics whose lives were saved and enriched by Alcoholics Anonymous.
This is an unabridged and unaltered copy of the first printing of the first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous by the World Publishing Company in April 1939. Minor changes were made throughout 15 subsequent printings of the original first edition. These changes are not reflected in this first edition of the Big Book. The first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous is out of copyright and in the public domain.
With the advent of the second edition (1955), third edition (1976), and fourth edition (2001), there are millions of recovering alcoholics who have never seen, read, or heard the first edition of the Big Book. With 23 of its 29 personal stories omitted from subsequent editions, these first edition stories will be new to listeners. Though told from the perspective of an earlier era, the Big Book’s message of experience, strength, and hope still resonates with recovering alcoholics to this day.
Alcoholics Anonymous, first edition, is one of the most important books of the 20th century. It’s a must-have for every recovering alcoholic who seeks to better understand and appreciate AA’s humble beginnings. Since 1939, the Big Book has been a source of inspiration, guidance, and support to those seeking the gifts of sobriety.

For every day, a favorite quotation from the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous is followed by an A.A. member’s personal reflection, making for daily ingestion that is at once inspired and inspiring. While focusing broadly on the Three Legacies of Recovery, Unity and Service, this volume offers experience, strength and hope on specific topics such as willingness, faith, making amends—themes that recovering alcoholics must address each day—and reminds us that we are never really alone in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customized approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.

Life - if you've ever thought you might be doing it wrong, you're not alone. Objects in the Mirror: Thoughts on a Perfect Life from an Imperfect Person is a collection of essays that explores what it means to be alive. Like Polaroids framing the years of a troubadour and family man afflicted with an excess of self-awareness, these are stories without any clear good guys or bad guys. Instead, in each of these vignettes you will find dysfunctional humans trying to do their best and bouncing off each other in the process.

If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse".
